Medical hygiene

Medical hygiene involves practices to prevent the spread of infections and maintain health in healthcare settings and personal care. It includes proper handwashing, sterilizing tools, wearing clean clothing and gloves, and following protocols for sanitation. Good hygiene reduces the risk of transmitting bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens between patients, healthcare workers, and the environment. It is essential for safety, infection control, and promoting recovery. Adhering to medical hygiene standards ensures a clean, safe environment that minimizes health risks and supports effective treatment outcomes.
